"Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. "
Thomas Jefferson, 1781


"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. "
Dwight D. Eisenhower

Four.
Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg."

"A Success That Hasn't Occurred Yet"

This quote is for the "spin" hall of fame.

From TPM Muckraker

Five years after the Sept. 11 attacks, Osama bin Laden is still at large -- but that's not a failure of White House policy, says Frances Fragos Townsend. As she explained to CNN's White House correspondent Ed Henry last night:
HENRY: You know, going back to September 2001, the president said, dead or alive, we're going to get him. Still don't have him. I know you are saying there's successes on the war on terror, and there have been. That's a failure.

TOWNSEND: Well, I'm not sure -- it's a success that hasn't occurred yet. I don't know that I view that as a failure.
and Bush is a genius that hasn't done anything smart yet

I saw that on The Young Turks and couldn't believe my eyes. This was the supreme act of rhetorical desperation. As far as Bush being a genius who hasn't done anything smart yet LOL! - When he was a baby I doubt if he even reached out for shiny objects put in front of him. The man has the IQ of a paperweight.
